15 delightful doodles from Redditors who bring inanimate objects to life

Reddit has over 800,000 active subreddits, meaning there are hidden gems tucked away behind the classic defaults like /r/funny or /r/videos.

One of our favorites is the trending community of /r/RealLifeDoodles — a subreddit dedicated to animated gifs. Expert gif-makers draw "doodles" over inanimate objects, making them come to life with adorable faces and arms.

We love this owl with arms, because it reminds us of another niche subreddit: /r/birdswitharms.

The /r/RealLifeDoodles community has spread to other areas of the internet.

You can follow the submissions on Tumblr, Instagram, or the original subreddit itself. With hundreds of thousands of followers (and more joining in the fun everyday) this doodle-gif trend is sure to be around for years to come.
